Same reasons as many here. I've been collecting since I was a little boy 40+ years ago; it is in my DNA. It reminds me of the good parts of my childhood. I've made many friends, some of them very close, from collecting. I enjoy the chase and the acquisition of new knowledge, which is why I collect oddball and regional issues. It proved to be a better investment than many others. When my main business [law] is slow I turn to card dealing to make ends meet and I am hoping will furnish me with a nice part-time business when/if I retire from my main work. I can't afford to collect art nor do I have the space for it but I can sure collect little cardboard pieces that are works of art in and of themselves:
